| JMS' Spider-Man (Comic Book) | comment |
Spider-Man, created in the Silver Age by Stan Lee has been written by various writers over the years. One of them was J. Michael Straczynski, who wrote over seventy issues of our favorite wall-crawler's adventures. His run was one of the most acclaimed by critics, controversial among fans and... screwed by Executive Meddling in the history of Marvel Comics publishing, despite the fact that Joe Quesada promised JMS very large creative freedom at the beginning.This run, along with Ultimate Spider-Man, helped remake Spider-Man into one of the flagship characters of Marvel Comics in the early 2000s after the confusing and turbulent storylines of the mid-to-late '90s. Until confusing and turbulent storylines overtook the title again... Roughly about half of the complete run was a retool of the traditional Spider-Man mythos and character dynamics, the other half being ever more outlandish crossover events between other titles, and gigantic wrestling matches between "new and edgy" plot developments and the status quo of earlier.Notable concepts brought about during the JMS run include: Spider-Man's (and many of his rogues') animal motif having potential supernatural origins, Spider-Man as a permanent and visible member of the Avengers (really a case of Brian Michael Bendis' New Avengers title bleeding over), organic web-shooters (to link up with the Sam Raimi films), "Iron Spider", and the public reveal of Spider-Man being Peter Parker.Followed by One More Day and Brand New Day. | |

Card-Carrying Villain | |
| JMS' Spider-Man (Comic Book) / int_137f2d7 | comment |
Card-Carrying Villain: Morwen, goddess of chaos. She actually wanted to ally herself with Peter, rather than Loki, because the former has chaotic character, while the latter wants to control others. | |

| JMS' Spider-Man (Comic Book) / int_2c718c4b | comment |
Thematic Rogues Gallery: Lampshaded, when Ezekiel pointed out that Spider-Man has many more animal-themed villains than any other superhero. After a few encounters with mystical villains, Ezekiel was trying to use this trope as a proof that Peter's powers are magical though it's implied at least some of those mystical enemies were actually after Ezekiel himself. | |

Thou Shalt Not Kill: Spidey was very close to breaking this rule twice, with Morlun and Shathra both times he was spared from making the choice, because somebody or something else killed them. He actually killed Digger, but he was a zombie, so it doesn't count. | |

Characterization Marches On | |
| JMS' Spider-Man (Comic Book) / int_479f9ad0 | comment |
Characterization Marches On: JMS based his version of Aunt May on the more intelligent, sensible May glimpsed in stories by writers like Roger Stern and J.M. De Matteis, along with the fiery May seen in the Ultimate title. He also quietly let the "goofy old gal" characterization brought back by the Byrne run lapse into the past. | |

Author Tract | |
| JMS' Spider-Man (Comic Book) / int_4eaa9b84 | comment |
Author Tract: Mostly well-handled as JMS made Peter a teacher, which allowed him to introduce many social problems he wanted to talk about. Not so good during the Civil War, through. Well, the Civil War in general was full of confused Aesops, but Captain America quoting Mark Twain's "river of truth" speech to Spidey is undeniably awesome. | |

Myth Arc | |
| JMS' Spider-Man (Comic Book) / int_ac7cbf8d | comment |
Myth Arc: invoked The search for answers about Spider-Man's powers, the "Spider-Totem", and the battle against Morlun. Sadly Executive Meddling resulted in the whole idea being screwed. At least until Arana/Spider-Girl's comic series tied into it, with the titular character working for a company founded by Ezekiel Sims and joining a cult worshipping the Spider-Totems, and Spider-Island brought back the Queen and Web of Life. It's come back with a vengeance in Spider-Verse, where Morlun's family and the Spider-Totems are central parts of the story. | |

Self-Deprecation | |
| JMS' Spider-Man (Comic Book) / int_c9597a03 | comment |
Self-Deprecation: One issue has two guards arguing that Babylon 5 sucks because you have to watch the last season for the previous ones to make sense. In another issue there is the annoying director of the "Lobster Man" movie, arguing that being bitten by a radioactive lobster is a lame origin and ordering the writer to change it to the main character being The Chosen One of a Lobster-God. | |

Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane | |
| JMS' Spider-Man (Comic Book) / int_cb70651c | comment |
Maybe Magic, Maybe I Love Nuclear Power: The totemic motif is written in a way that allows fans to choose their favorite from multiple interpretations of how Peter got his powers. Was it all a Red Herring and his powers are caused by radioactivity? Is Peter a Chosen One of Anansi? And if he is, do his powers come from magic or is he the first one that got them from science? Did the spider bite him because he was scared, or because he wanted to pass his power on to a human before dying from radiation? Or maybe it was Ezekiel who was the Chosen One and because he refused the call, all his duties and status passed on Peter? And if so, did Anansi give him the power or are they two completely unrelated incidents and Peter could become the Chosen One because of already having the necessary personality and powers? You decide. The end of that story arc has Peter discussing this issue with a South American shaman, who answers that none of these possibilities are mutually exclusive. | |

Corrupt Corporate Executive | |
| JMS' Spider-Man (Comic Book) / int_cbe687ab | comment |
Corrupt Corporate Executive: Luke Carlyle seems to be a little of a deconstruction as he found out that being one is too much effort and trouble and decided that becoming a typical supervillain is much easier. | |

Moment Killer | |
| JMS' Spider-Man (Comic Book) / int_ece6f910 | comment |
Moment Killer: In #50, Peter and MJ finally attempt to reconcile despite complications like attempting to fly to each others' homes at the same time without calling first. Luckily, they bump into each other after a storm forces both their flights to make an emergency stop in Denver. It's all very dramatic and emotional, and just as they sit down to talk, Peter finds himself utterly speechless with a Deer in the Headlights expression on his face despite MJ questioning the life of a superhero's significant other... ...because GOD-DAMNED DOCTOR DOOM WALKS INTO THE LOUNGE. Which of course precedes an attempt on the dictator's life. | |

Tricksters | |
| JMS' Spider-Man (Comic Book) / int_f1d0d797 | comment |
Tricksters: JMS pointed out in one story that both Spider-Man and Loki are different examples of tricksters and explored differences between them. Particularly since the Totem story arc set Peter up as a kind of successor to Anansi, the spider trickster from African mythology. Hence the parallel to Loki, the Norse trickster. | |

Survival Mantra: When Spidey faces off a few enemies who have proven to be far stronger than he is, he reminds himself that while he is a man, he is also part spider, and spiders are hunters. | |
